The Mason

March 20, 2015

The other day I felt like quitting My bones ached, the sun scorched Each brick weighed a ton And my limbs, these scrawny limbs Felt as heavy as Otumfour's on Adae Kese's morn The other day I felt like quitting But this contract I had signed, These advanced wages I had taken, These tools I had just taken on credit, Ow my massive debts at Daavi's eatery The other day I felt like quitting But what else would I do This was all I knew Like my father, his father And others before him The other day I felt like quitting A vulture as he got drenched by rain Said tomorrow I'll make my home But today the rains stopped And this work isn't all that bad These wages actually do get me by And which of these hawkers Can resist the charm of Korku Mason
